When I had my Ten I thought the turbulence really bad, I remember riding around the dales and lakes for a day, coming home in the dark with a splitting headache, and when trying to read road signs blured vision.
I bought a metal mule taller screen but this made no difference, so took the decision to chop the screen. Cut it so it was about 2 inches above the gps bracket.
What a difference, helmet now sitting in clean air.
the only noise was the smooth rushing air not the constant hammering from the turbulence.
To see if it works, remove the standard screen and go for a blast.

Thanks for all the advice, think I'll save a few quid and try the cutting down the screen option. I've tried standing up on the pegs to get into the clean air and that's the result I want. Just need to source another screen now

Hi gooner..

for my Ta with the tall screen...

I just got a cheap bit of perspex off ebay..5mm thick stuff then heated with hotair gun to bend to shape..

2x holes in screen at outer edges and bolts with rubber cushining job done , easily removable .

just experiment with height first with small piece of plastic 5ltr drum stuff and cardboard.

thats if you fancy the bog option.
